Security update. Example exploit for old version is available at http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2006-July/047913.html (needs a.out binfmt support in the kernel, but there are other ways to exploit this).

What versions of HAL? Where is the report? These types of posts are of little use without details. What action is suggested?
comment:12 by , 19 years ago
The report is referenced (very imprecisely, and it is certainly not on the hal list on fredesktop) at http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/14/309, but then Greg KH says that HAL 0.5.7 works for him.
